Intuition

Acknowledging a mind-body connection helps us understand information that is accessible to us.  Sometimes we don't understand how information fits into our lives when it's for "future use".  We can't access certain feelings, memories, emotions until others have been processed, there is a timing component.  One step leads to another.  New information is available at each new step.  

I use the analogy that it's like the beginning of a puzzle.  It is so much easier to start with the borders and fill it in so there is structure and form.  Then, adding the middle pieces becomes faster and more intuitive.  We build confidence in our intuition every time we use it and it proves to be helpful.
Merriam-Webster defines intuition as 
": a natural ability or power that makes it possible to know something without any proof or evidence 
: a feeling that guides a person to act a certain way without fully understanding why
: something that is known or understood without proof or evidence".

You might doubt it, but if you have ever felt a "gut instinct" about something, that is intuition.  Symptoms in our bodies can direct us to information that is helpful when we know how to interpret it.  We must be our own advocates and listen to what our bodies tell us.  

Clues for our health, wealth and joy can sometimes be literal.  Feeling "the weight of the world around our shoulders" can be a clue to "let go".  Sometimes intuition is symbolic.  Feeling a person is "shady" in business is a clue not to work with him or her.  You might know when someone isn't telling the whole truth, but the reason may or may not be harmful.  It's always good to take extra time, when possible, for issues where you feel something is "off".  

Sometimes fear is just plain old fear.  Other times, it's an indication to reconsider an upcoming decision.  When we go to a quiet state of mind with enough regularity to find personal peace, our intuition becomes stronger.  The messages I hear in those quiet moments are the ones I take to heart.  

Have a great day!!
